People For Puget Sound works hard to protect and restore the waters and shorelines of Puget Sound. Through activism, education, and hands on habitat restoration we join with members, volunteers, and local citizens to ensure Puget Sound`s continued journey back to health, and return to abundance for future generations.

Since our founding in 1991, we have recruited thousands of members, volunteers, activists, and Kids For Puget Sound. We have developed partnerships with hundreds of organizations and government agencies. We are a growing organization with activities ranging from hands-in-the-mud habitat restoration to advocacy for the Sound in the halls of the legislature.



People For Puget Sound`s programs are based on partnerships and collaborations, scientific credibility, creative use of communications and technology, and a hands-on style. Our work is funded by thousands of people like you.
